Dear SABR Quebec
I am currently researching the statue of Jackie Robinson sited outside of the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Having had a useful chat with the sculptor I'd be very keen to contact anyone from the group of fans who organised the funding for the statue - do you know anyone who was involved? I'm particularly interested in their choice of design and the choice of words on the plaque. If anyone couldpriovide me with an accurate English translation of the plaque that would be fantastic! I'd also like to know the date at which the statue was moved from its original site near to the old Royals stadium and resited at the Olympic stadium. Any help hugely appreciated!
cheers
Chris
